I am offering a workshop at the Bead & Button Show this June 6-8 … Fusing, Fabricating & Granulating with Argentium Silver. I think that these projects are easier than soldering and perfect for those with the most basic of jewelry skills. Basic torch skills needed. There are still spaces available. Students will make earrings, ring and a bead. Any additional information email me: ronda@rondacoryell.com

I am a senior instructor at Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco and also travel the world lecturing and teaching. I love working with metals and now my main focus has become Argentium Sterling. It is a metal that WOWs me. Students continually challenge me and come up with new questions all the time. I have been doing experimentation with every thing I can think of and am documenting my work. I will be teaching some upcoming workshops in 2009:
